Drivers are facing court appearances after being caught speeding at up to 120mph by police on the M180 today.

Speed checks have been conducted by Humberside Police officers on the motorway this morning.

In a message on social network Twitter, Humber Roads Police shared pictures showing speed readings of 110mph and 105mph and reminded drivers that today is "New Year's Day, not New Year's Race Day".

The message said the motorists caught this morning on the stretch of road near junction two of the motorway, close to Belton, would be "visiting the local courts for excess speed" and said the highest speed recorded during the checks was 120mph.
